This is a lovely vanilla cake with layers of vanilla cream and whipped cream. The toasted pecans and coconut adds flavor and crunch – hope you’ll enjoy it.

Leave to cool while you make the vanilla cream. (You can find the recipe here.) Or use shop bought, if you prefer.

Spread out the pecans and coconut on a baking tray and place in the oven (same temperature, 350˚F /180˚C)  for about 10 minutes.

I used 2  1/2 oz. (75 gram) each of the coconut and pecans.

    Hei Manuela
    Denne vil jeg lage i kveld.
    Å så må jeg bare si at den nye juleboka er bare helt utrolig. Jeg har bladd og bladd i den, og jeg har lyst til å lage alt. Veldig bra. De andre bøkene dine er også knallbra, men denne var noe for seg selv. Ta vare på deg selv, for du er spesiell.
    Klem fra Merete
